    It's ok for what it is. Bought to sync with another Sony speaker I have, the (XG-300) and they do not sync together. Decided to keep in and throw it on the golf cart because it is inexpensive and the sound is good for that.

      Hi AaronB, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with your Sony unit. The SRS-XB100 and the SRS-XG300 are both excellent speakers, but unfortunately, they do not support syncing with each other. The SRS-XB100 is designed for individual use and does not have the capability to pair with other speaker models for synchronized playback. This is why you were unable to sync it with your SRS-XG300. However, it's great to hear that you found a good use for the SRS-XB100 on your golf cart, as it is indeed a good option for portable and affordable sound.

      Additional information: The SRS-XB100 has the Stereo Pair function. By connecting 2 speakers via a BLUETOOTH connection, you can enjoy more powerful sound. One speaker plays the sound on the left channel (left side), while the other speaker plays the sound on the right channel (right side) for stereo playback between the speakers. To use the Stereo Pair function, 2 SRS-XB100 speakers are required. Please check this link for more details:

      Hi LorC,

      We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the speaker. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. For optimum performance, make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction:

      -When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.

      -When the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port.

      -When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.

      Please also note that the sound performance may vary depending on the specific environment, including factors such as wind, background noise, and open spaces, which may affect the perceived loudness.

      In some cases, you might find that the speaker's sound may not be as loud as desired for outdoor use, especially in noisy or wide-open areas. For optimal sound quality and performance, we recommend using the speaker primarily for indoor purposes, where environmental factors are more likely controlled, and you can fully enjoy its audio capabilities.

      You have the option to use the Stereo Pair function by connecting 2 SRS-XB100 speakers so you can enjoy a more powerful sound. For more information, please refer to this link:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/7856/v1/en/contents/TP1000948043.html

    I use them for watching Fire TV, listening to music at bedtime and my morning wake routine with Alexa. The speakers have to be re-paired frequently and make an annoying buzzing sound when paired for several weeks. Next time I won't buy speakers that have to be paired.

      Hi JCrew,

      Thank you for the 5-star rating and sharing your experience so far with your XB100. We apologize, the SRS-XB100 is designed for audio devices like music players and smartphones that support Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) profile for wireless headphones & speakers' connection and not intended for PlayStation 5.

      You can connect our XB100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker to your television (via Bluetooth- the TV must support Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)) so you can get the audio from the PlayStation 5.

      If you need more information or technical assistance with your product, please feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following:
